The upcoming Promise Me the Spotlight (Watashi o Center ni Suru to Chikaimasuka?) TV anime adaptation has received a teaser trailer and key visual, along with staff and cast details.
Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats!, Tsuki ga Kirei, Blue Orchestra) is directing the show at TEAM TillDawn with Yuko Kakihara (The Aquatope on White Sand, Blue Orchestra) as series composer and Kazuaki Morita (Tsuki ga Kirei, Blue Orchestra) as character designer. Meanwhile, the cast includes Haruna Mikawa as Mizuki Natsuno, Taihi Kimura as Koichi Okuta, Mai Kanno as Awayuki Shiroi, and Yukari Anzai as Hatsune Fukuba.

Promise Me the Spotlight is based on the Kodansha-published manga by Jyun Wakatsuki. K Manga describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
“If you can really make me the Center…then we can get married.” Meet Mizuki Natsuno, the least popular member of the nationally acclaimed idol group, Melty Strawberry. She has an eternal fan in Koichi Okuta, who is always pouring heart and soul into supporting her. Normally, a fan would never get to interact with their idol beyond the stage. But one thing led to another, and Koichi now finds himself living together with Mizuki in his own house. He vows to make her the new Center of Melty Strawberry, sparking an unconventional tag-team between a devoted fan and his idol. Together, they attempt to elevate Mizuki’s career from obscurity to stardom!
The Promise Me the Spotlight manga began running in Magazine Pocket in 2023 and has six volumes as of July 2026.
